Arranging words to fit where they don’t belong Like a never-ending jigsaw puzzle to the brain Chaos consumes me; constantly pacing through my head Almost as if I hit a wall and can’t get past it Suddenly I am surrounded in a fortress and can’t find a way out Trapped like an animal, forced to use my claws Finally, I see a small crack in a wall with a dim light gazing through Scream, Shout, HELP! No one comes; no one helps me find a way out It’s just me all alone, surrounded by fear, anger and frustration The darkness overwhelms me to the core of my heart Shriveling up and hardening like a beet Despair wreaks havoc and mayhem Eventually the only thing I know is darkness Adrenaline is fueling my anguish and sorrow My heavy breathing is wasting oxygen Suffocating myself until all I see is nothing All I hear is nothing and all I feel is nothing Losing my way in pure darkness even in death there is nothing No tiny shining light of hope, no farewells nor good byes Just the end of my rope forever in this abyss of ruin

Reclamation
Her life was full of adventure Cascading around as if she were on ice-skates Sliding around life's edge Daring temptations And Yet she lays here Upon this empty casket Unburdened Unresolved Unbounded by fates gentle, but cruel ties I can almost hear her last gasp of breath Her eye lids obstructed shut And Our heads dip down As the Song of Nephilim plays The Grim Reaper wields his scythe of death once more Ending her final days And Sending her across the River Styx

That thing on your face isn’t real It’s a joke It’s a plaster of what you think is real You think it makes you look beautiful You think it defines who you are You can’t get enough of it Like heroine in a needle to the arm Maybe you should wipe that plastered mask away Maybe you should look into the mirror See who you really are See what you are Cleanse your face See the beautiful clean smooth skin The bumps on your face add texture Feels like ecstasy to the touch The sunspots on your face are **** Your beauty stimulates my eyes upon your naked face Makes me want to gently kiss you Makes me want to glide my fingertips across your skin All over your face and feel you With my bare lips Leaving an impression And Hopefully you won’t break like fine glass

Make-up
You loved so many; yet hated so much Others would hurt you; as you’d hurt your self Like a blue flower blowing in the wind under cerulean sky’s Enclosed and silent Delicate to the touch Harmless to the sight You are scentless Like a faint smile fading An everlasting beauty upon you When your heart opens it’s like a whirling maelstrom A whole new you to explore Poetry Music Love Longing for someone to hold you without consequence Love confounds you as it confounds me Stitching yourself back together piece by piece Each piece is like glass Clear, shiny and defining You are seamless As if you were never broken As if a drop of delicate water can still break you Shattering in a billion pieces But don’t cry I know you are strong minded and strong hearted For I have witnessed it The only thing that can touch you now is love It will slide down your body like red silk Entwining you with something special Obstacles wavered as if nothing were there Free and profound When bloomed in the morning Hair blowing in the wind like an optical illusion You are free and weightless Like a silhouette dancing in the distance Purged of the past Dancing; flowing like an art form Only beauty shines on your delicate skin But still as silent as snow You are my flower My Morning Glory

Pieces
Escaping to a dream from reality A place where I stick through time Somewhere I can be free and be myself A place where I can’t feel; can’t breathe No fear of anything No worrying for anyone People might say I am Heartless Not because I save people Nor because I am fighting for them Because I am frozen Exhausted from life Deprived of emotions Drained of sanity Decimated of insanity But I am the opposite I know I feel because I save people I don’t worry; I care I fight because they are worth fighting for I shut out all distractions Yes Because I am free Because I am frozen in my time That is my true strength This is my release My name is Keith and this is my Fairy Tale

Fairy Tale
I like solitude The past walks with me It lives with me 900 years ago there was nothing here No hotel No theme parks No promenade Just a beach; nets hanging out to dry Armored vessel's in the bay I will never forget the consumption of my body Tainted Nor Cleansed Love confounded me; it wasn't despair, it was bliss The face of the mirror had more substance than a wraith Yet I knew it could not exist; nor could I For I am infamous Leaching off of people to dispel my death I am a time borrower I am a display Merely a face of time its self Mourning for my Kirchwasser

I've been feeling kinda good about myself lately I don't know who you are But Hopefully sometime soon I'll find you standing around in that parking lot again Striking up conversations with each other as we done before Your heart was not sad nor cold; it was warm and pleasant Your personality was beautiful Thus your entire being is beautiful I am done being alone and afraid to ask you out I have fathomed holding this girl in my arms Watching her smile at dinner Going out and having an abundance of fun I want to discover you I want to explore you Staying up until the dark hours of the night Just talking But Don't be afraid I would never take advantage of you This is me taking a leap This is me asking for a night with you But Don't be afraid to say "No" For I will not pursue you I will not fear rejection I would just like to ask you for one thing My heart is bruised It’s not my scars I want you to cover Nor my cuts for you to bandage It's my heart for you to cherish

Happy Valentine's Day
My droopy eyelids ache as if I saw the sight of the sun, Walking silently, but swiftly; motionlessly into her arms I hear  the fragile air passing through her lungs I feel the delicate pulse of her neck The fragile but weak heartbeat; beating down the seconds I thought I felt nothing Thinking it would only satisfy my cravings as her life slowly became mine I dared not to look But her faint smile overwhelmed me The sweet sanguine fluid flowing down her body Onto my lips The only time I feel alive again is in this moment Until my cravings are gone and the despair numbs me once more I can see through her eyes Her vision distorts me from her sight Not knowing who she is or why she let me gaze upon Her image, but it's one image I will never forget An image I won't want to lose A second more and she subsides or A second less and she subsists For each second I felt her neck Pulse The first time I felt my heart Pulse And for each pulse I felt The more human I became.

I want to tell her what I believe in music, love, *** and family I want to offer my hand, I want to offer my peace, I want to offer something in some other way, some proof I will be there for her when ever I can even if its in her dreams or standing right beside her  through tragedy and/or peace. When she gets scared or lonely I will be standing by her side holding her, comforting her. She is my passion, my recall to life its self, most importantly she is taking me on her life journey. I breathe for her because I stay wondering and wanting I wonder until my wonder is cut off because she is my air I do hear the breeze hiss from her lips onto mine as if I am in love. She is my air sign.   Wondering why I cant sleep at night, it's because she is not by my side. If I could fly I'd fly by her side from dawn to dusk just to lay down by her side at night because all I see is me in her eyes. I see through her eyes the motionless sea, Even though this sea rages around me, I am at peace through the still water I travel, I am at peace with or without still raging waves, I am at peace even if I'm shattered and broken. Me by your side each piece is at PEACE

I have always been the misfit of the bunch The rebel within the pack The troublemaker the round peg in a square hole the odd man out the one who sees things differently I am not fond of rules I have no respect for a title above my head You can quote me Disagree with me glorify or vilify me About the only thing you can't do is ignore me I change things I push people to their limits. I say things to make you react I challenge you to challenge me All I get is disrespect All because people don't try to understand what I say. Instead you think I am ignorant childish and selfish All these negative things and not one **** good thing All because you don't understand me While some may see me as "the crazy one" All I see in myself is a genius because people who are crazy enough to think they can change or push people to their limits are the ones who understand what we need to do to improve this world and if you don't understand or grasp that answer then the ones who know me think I am inferior to them think I am not smarter or stronger than them what they don't understand The difference between a successful person and a unsuccessful person is not a lack of strength or knowledge but a lack of will the will to create benefit for all and enjoying the process. I have become my own optimist If I can't make it through one door then I don't give up I find another way to another door Or I'll make a door out of nothing into something Something will come no matter how vague it seems if you focus on this and adopt this definition Success is yours for the taking So I ask you one more time Am I crazy?
